Price Lab @ University of Virginia

Our new review article on combining focused ultrasound with non-viral gene therapies is now out in @CellBiomat! @FUSFoundation @UVARadiology

Join us June 4, 2026, for the inaugural UVA Focused Ultrasound Innovation Summit at the Contemplative Sciences Center! Open to UVA faculty and trainees, with keynote speaker Dr. Jeff Elias. Learn more, register, and submit abstracts: med.virginia.edu/radiology-rese…

Ultrasound can help clinicians diagnose and monitor disease. Now, patients with conditions ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s may soon benefit from recent advances in this technology. A biomedical engineer has details: buff.ly/5bCd3vN

The Merck Grad Student Award competition consists of double-blind peer review of CRS student abstracts, video presentations by selected students, followed by a competition for 3 finalists (12 min presentation at #CRS2025 + 8 min Q&A period from the panel). Congrats Anna! (2/2)

Proud PI Alert! Just 3 weeks after winning best Student Oral Presentation at #ISTU2025 in Banff, Dr. Anna Debski won the overall Merck Grad Student Award at #CRS2025 for her research on FUS-mediated delivery of CRISPR Cas9 ribonucleoproteins to gliomas! (1/2)

Super proud of @UVABME grad student Anna Debski who won best oral presentation @ISTU2025 this week in Banff! Congrats Anna! @UVACancerCenter @UVARadiology @UVAResearchNews

Congratulations to my amazing graduate student, Noah Perry, for earning his PhD degree from @UVABME. He’s an outstanding scientist, a wonderful colleague, and a mentor. Watching him grow has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Congratulations, Dr. Perry!

Congratulations, Dr. Stone! news.med.virginia.edu/research/james…

A new, incision-free technique developed at @uvahealthnews shows strong early results in treating cerebral cavernous malformations, nearly halting lesion growth. uvatoday.me/4kzNvrL

Here's the follow-up @JCRnEDITORS paper to last week's @natBME paper ( nature.com/articles/s4155…). Here, we used T1 mapping MRI to predict small molecule and biologic delivery to CCMs with FUS. Works well! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Here's the story of serendipity behind our @natBME paper on CCM stabilization with focused ultrasound. Focused sound energy stops a rare vascular neoplasm in its tracks communities.springernature.com/posts/focused-…

🎉A great honor to "hood" 3 outstanding @UVABME graduate students today for completion of their Ph.D. - Tor Breza, Mark Schwartz, and Anna Debski. Thank you for your contributions to the @PriceLabUVaBME research program! 🎉

@DrWuRadOnc Absolutely Fred. Anytime.

@PriceLabUVaBME I need some time to read this but would love to understand more. As a peds radonc many long term survivors develop cavernomas and this may be a promising approach!! Would love to connect at some point to learn more!

Thanks so much Fred!

The fascinating and unexpected stabilization response of cavernomas to focused ultrasound. Our newest is now out in @natBME. Led by @DataDelaney with tons of help from many terrific lab members and multiple collaborators! rdcu.be/elRyP

Congratulations to Dr. Anna Debski for her thesis "Harnessing Sound for Targeted Gene Editing in GBM"! Anna will present 2 talks @ISTU in Banff - one in the Student Awards session and the other in the Brain session. @UVABME @UVACancerCenter @FUSFoundation

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Mark Schwartz! Yesterday, Mark defended his thesis "Tuning tumor vasculature to amplify focused ultrasound therapy". Amazing work Mark! 🎉 @UVACancerCenter @UVABME @UVARadiology @UVAEngineers

🎄Season's Greeting from the festively attired Price Lab! Especially to our friends and colleagues in @UVABME, @UVARadiology, @UVAEngineers, @UVaBIG, @UVAneurosurg, and @FUSFoundation!🎄
